Photo: Cartier "Sunrise Ruby" ring fetched a record-breaking $30 million

This Cartier "Sunrise Ruby" ring fetched a record-breaking $30 million at a Sotheby's auction in Geneva earlier this week  (and greatly exceeded estimates that ranged from $12 million to $18 million). It has a rare cushion-cut 25.59-carat Burmese ruby set between between shield-shaped diamonds weighing 2.47 and 2.70 carat and it set a world record as the highest-selling ruby at auction as well as for any jewel by Cartier.
